NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 561
I talked to the Copper Eagle
Sebastian talked about the contract with a bitter expression.
Like Sherry, once they become a familiar, they can no longer hurt the person who becomes their master. So it would have certainly made things safer.
But Tilura was tired and had gone to sleep.
“Hah… Very well. I will ask Leo and we’ll talk to it together. Also, Liza help as well.”
“I will call her at once.”
“Thank you, Mr. Takumi. I’ll tell them to give you extra orc meat for dinner.”
“…I think I’ve had enough of that. We’ve been eating it every day now. Well, I’m sure it will be fine. I should get it over with…”
“Yes, good.”
And so I headed toward the Copper Eagle in order to talk with it.“Umm, so you really are a Copper Eagle. And you sensed that humans were going to do something, and so you wanted to contact Leo?”
“Kii!”
“It said yes!”
“Wuff-wuff.”
With Liza and Leo’s help, I relayed what had been discussed with Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian.
According to it, it really was a Copper Eagle. And it had sensed something clamorous…like something was headed towards the mountain where it is living.
It was only a vague sense, and it did not know what the humans were thinking.
And then recently, he felt Leo’s presence, and so it was forced into action.
I don’t think it had thought that the Silver Fenrir would be in league with humans. But it considered the risk of Leo coming to the mountains and attacking them, and so it wanted to see for itself.
And then it saw how Leo was with humans, and felt that its home was in danger.
While it could deal with humans on their own, it would be a different matter if Leo was with them. And then it got the idea of cooperating with the humans, and looked for an opportunity to make contact. It had also always wanted to carry someone on its back.
The monsters that obeyed it were subordinates, and so it did not want to carry them. Besides, most of the monsters could fly anyway. So it was best to carry a human.
That being said, it could not be any human. But a human near a Silver Fenrir…
“Uhh, so you really don’t have any intention of fighting or hurting humans?”
“Kii.”
“…But, earlier, you seemed quite aggressive towards me…?”
“Kii!? Kii-kii…kii…”
“It says that it was surprised to suddenly see a human in front of it…!”
“Wuff. Wou-grau!”
“Kii!”
When I asked about what happened earlier, it suddenly became quite frantic as it explained.
Liza then interpreted… Well, I suppose after being knocked out of the sky and suddenly seeing a human in front of you…it was no surprise that it was cautious.
Leo sighed and then barked a little angrily.
Don’t do it again! She seemed to say, and then the Copper Eagle raised its right wing and cried with a nod.
It was probably it’s way of saying, I understand!
I now had serious doubts about that country destroying nonsense. But even then, it was likely still much stronger than me. So I wasn’t going to put it to the test.
“Well, everything seems fine then. So it really just is up to Tilura… Well, she seemed pretty happy before sleeping. And so her answer seems quite obvious.”
It had a lot to do with Leo’s presence, but it really did seem friendly. There seemed to be no need for hesitation.
…Well, if you angered it by accident, it might retaliate strongly, but if it could communicate with people, then it shouldn’t be too bad.
Additionally, I told it that Sebastian and the people of Ractos did not know that it was the boss of the monsters in the mountains. And that people likely ran away at the sight of it. However, it looked like it had no idea what I was talking about.
Apparently, it was not aware of its own supposed strength or reputation.
It only used its power when it had to make a show of strength…
Even if subjugation of the other monsters was not through force. And they all lived rather peacefully.
I suppose it was because the other monsters knew that it could not win. But perhaps they also had laid back and peaceful personalities.
Sherry was like that as well. So maybe a lot of them just preferred not to fight?
